A relieved David J Russell, who has finished runner up nine times on the European Senior Tour, survived an almighty scare around the turn to finally land his maiden title in The De Vere Collection PGA Seniors Championship.
Russell, who started the final round with a four stroke lead, looked to be cruising to victory after three birdies and just the single bogey in his opening seven holes to open up a six shot cushion but his advantage suddenly evaporated in the space of three incredible holes.
The Englishman 'hit an iceberg' on the Hunting Course at De Vere Slaley Hall when he triple bogeyed the eighth hole, followed by a double bogey on ninth when he was forced to take a penalty shot after his wayward approach landing in greenkeeper’s cuttings.
